Work becomes a burden tied together with the ropes of anxiety for results when we have self-serving motives. When what we do is for God with the intention of reducing self-interest there is nothing to carry. Love carries us.

In the Bhagavad Gita the body is referred to as a city with nine gates--the openings that are portals for sensory experience. In order for the city to be peaceful and beautiful there must be a city manager who knows the plan. This city manager is the purified ego who is in service of the soul.

Observe the nature of thoughts moving through the mental field. They arise like a wave moving forward with the energy of association and memory. Without involvement they will rise and fall. When the wave is spent we can rest in the conscious calm of the interim before another wave begins.

Whatever we may have done in life, whatever harmful deeds, the divine true Self within remains unstained. The painful consequences of our wrong choices may serve to break our heart open and allow the true Self to shine through at last.
